1. After this, Jesus went across Lake Galilee (or, Lake Tiberias).
|
1. After G3326 these things G5023 Jesus G2424 went G565 over G4008 the G3588 sea G2281 of Galilee G1056 , which is the sea of Tiberias G5085 .
|
|
2. Many people followed him because they saw the miracles he did to heal the sick.
|
2. And G2532 a great G4183 multitude G3793 followed G190 him G846 , because G3754 they saw G3708 his G846 miracles G4592 which G3739 he did G4160 on G1909 them that were diseased G770 .
|
|
3. Jesus went up on a hill and sat down there with his followers.
|
3. And G1161 Jesus G2424 went up G424 into G1519 a mountain G3735 , and G2532 there G1563 he sat G2521 with G3326 his G848 disciples G3101 .
|
|
4. It was almost the time for the Jewish Passover Feast.
|
4. And G1161 the G3588 passover G3957 , a feast G1859 of the G3588 Jews G2453 , was G2258 nigh G1451 .
|
|
5. When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough bread for all these people to eat?"
|
5. When Jesus G2424 then G3767 lifted up G1869 his eyes G3788 , and G2532 saw G2300 a G3754 great G4183 company G3793 come G2064 unto G4314 him G846 , he saith G3004 unto G4314 Philip G5376 , Whence G4159 shall we buy G59 bread G740 , that G2443 these G3778 may eat G5315 ?
|
|
6. (Jesus asked Philip this question to test him, because Jesus already knew what he planned to do.)
|
6. And G1161 this G5124 he said G3004 to prove G3985 him G846 : for G1063 he G846 himself knew G1492 what G5101 he would G3195 do G4160 .
|
|
7. Philip answered, "We would all have to work a month to buy enough bread for each person to have only a little piece."
|
7. Philip G5376 answered G611 him G846 , Two hundred G1250 pennyworth G1220 of bread G740 is not sufficient G714 G3756 for them G846 , that G2443 every one G1538 of them G846 may take G2983 a little G5100 G1024 .
|
|
8. Another one of his followers, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said,
|
8. One G1520 of G1537 his G846 disciples G3101 , Andrew G406 , Simon G4613 Peter G4074 's brother G80 , saith G3004 unto him G846 ,
|
|
9. "Here is a boy with five loaves of barley bread and two little fish, but that is not enough for so many people."
|
9. There is G2076 a G1520 lad G3808 here G5602 , which G3739 hath G2192 five G4002 barley G2916 loaves G740 , and G2532 two G1417 small fishes G3795 : but G235 what G5101 are G2076 they G5023 among G1519 so many G5118 ?
|
|
10. Jesus said, "Tell the people to sit down." This was a very grassy place, and about five thousand men sat down there.
|
10. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Make G4160 the G3588 men G444 sit down G377 . Now G1161 there was G2258 much G4183 grass G5528 in G1722 the G3588 place G5117 . So G3767 the G3588 men G435 sat down G377 , in number G706 about G5616 five thousand G4000 .
|
|
11. Then Jesus took the loaves of bread, thanked God for them, and gave them to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, giving as much as the people wanted.
|
11. And G1161 Jesus G2424 took G2983 the G3588 loaves G740 ; and G2532 when he had given thanks G2168 , he distributed G1239 to the G3588 disciples G3101 , and G2532 the G3588 disciples G3101 to them that were set down G345 ; and G2532 likewise G3668 of G1537 the G3588 fishes G3795 as much as G3745 they would G2309 .
|
|
12. When they had all had enough to eat, Jesus said to his followers, "Gather the leftover pieces of fish and bread so that nothing is wasted."
|
12. G1161 When G5613 they were filled G1705 , he said G3004 unto his G848 disciples G3101 , Gather up G4863 the G3588 fragments G2801 that remain G4052 , that G2443 nothing G5100 G3361 be lost G622 .
|
|
13. So they gathered up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left from the five barley loaves.
|
13. Therefore G3767 they gathered them G4863 together, and G2532 filled G1072 twelve G1427 baskets G2894 with the fragments G2801 of G1537 the G3588 five G4002 barley G2916 loaves G740 , which G3739 remained over and above G4052 unto them that had eaten G977 .
|
|
14. When the people saw this miracle that Jesus did, they said, "He must truly be the Prophetn who is coming into the world."
|
14. Then G3767 those men G444 , when they had seen G1492 the miracle G4592 that G3739 Jesus G2424 did G4160 , said G3004 , This G3778 is G2076 of a truth G230 that prophet G4396 that should come G2064 into G1519 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
15. Jesus knew that the people planned to come and take him by force and make him their king, so he left and went into the hills alone.
|
15. When Jesus G2424 therefore G3767 perceived G1097 that G3754 they would G3195 come G2064 and G2532 take him by force G726 G846 , to G2443 make G4160 him G846 a king G935 , he departed G402 again G3825 into G1519 a mountain G3735 himself G846 alone G3441 .
|
|
16. That evening Jesus' followers went down to Lake Galilee.
|
16. And G1161 when G5613 even G3798 was now come G1096 , his G846 disciples G3101 went down G2597 unto G1909 the G3588 sea G2281 ,
|
|
17. It was dark now, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The followers got into a boat and started across the lake to Capernaum.
|
17. And G2532 entered G1684 into G1519 a ship G4143 , and went G2064 over G4008 the G3588 sea G2281 toward G1519 Capernaum G2584 . And G2532 it was G1096 now G2235 dark G4653 , and G2532 Jesus G2424 was not G3756 come G2064 to G4314 them G846 .
|
|
18. By now a strong wind was blowing, and the waves on the lake were getting bigger.
|
18. And G5037 the G3739 sea G2281 arose G1326 by reason of a great G3173 wind G417 that blew G4154 .
|
|
19. When they had rowed the boat about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the water, coming toward the boat. The followers were afraid,
|
19. So G3767 when they had rowed G1643 about G5613 five and twenty G4002 G1501 or G2228 thirty G5144 furlongs G4712 , they see G2334 Jesus G2424 walking G4043 on G1909 the G3588 sea G2281 , and G2532 drawing G1096 nigh G1451 unto the G3588 ship G4143 : and G2532 they were afraid G5399 .
|
|
20. but Jesus said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid."
|
20. But G1161 he G3588 saith G3004 unto them G846 , It is G1510 I G1473 ; be not afraid G5399 G3361 .
|
|
21. Then they were glad to take him into the boat. At once the boat came to land at the place where they wanted to go.
|
21. Then G3767 they willingly G2309 received G2983 him G846 into G1519 the G3588 ship G4143 : and G2532 immediately G2112 the G3588 ship G4143 was G1096 at G1909 the G3588 land G1093 whither G1519 G3739 they went G5217 .
|
|
22. The next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the lake knew that Jesus had not gone in the boat with his followers but that they had left without him. And they knew that only one boat had been there.
|
22. The G3588 day following G1887 , when the G3588 people G3793 which stood G2476 on the other side G4008 of the G3588 sea G2281 saw G1492 that G3754 there was G2258 none G3756 other G243 boat G4142 there G1563 , save G1508 that G1565 one G1520 whereinto G1519 G3739 his G848 disciples G3101 were entered G1684 , and G2532 that G3754 Jesus G2424 went not with G4897 G3756 his G846 disciples G3101 into G1519 the G3588 boat G4142 , but G235 that his G846 disciples G3101 were gone away G565 alone G3441 ;
|
|
23. But then some boats came from Tiberias and landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
|
23. ( Howbeit G1161 there came G2064 other G243 boats G4142 from G1537 Tiberias G5085 nigh unto G1451 the G3588 place G5117 where G3699 they did eat G5315 bread G740 , after that the G3588 Lord G2962 had given thanks G2168 :)
|
|
24. When the people saw that Jesus and his followers were not there now, they got into boats and went to Capernaum to find Jesus. Jesus, the Bread of Life
|
24. When G3753 the G3588 people G3793 therefore G3767 saw G1492 that G3754 Jesus G2424 was G2076 not G3756 there G1563 , neither G3761 his G846 disciples G3101 , they G846 also G2532 took G1684 shipping G1519 G4143 , and G2532 came G2064 to G1519 Capernaum G2584 , seeking for G2212 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
25. When the people found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Teacher, when did you come here?"
|
25. And G2532 when they had found G2147 him G846 on the other side G4008 of the G3588 sea G2281 , they said G2036 unto him G846 , Rabbi G4461 , when G4219 camest G1096 thou hither G5602 ?
|
|
26. Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you aren't looking for me because you saw me do miracles. You are looking for me because you ate the bread and were satisfied.
|
26. Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 and G2532 said G2036 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Ye seek G2212 me G3165 , not G3756 because G3754 ye saw G1492 the miracles G4592 , but G235 because G3754 ye did eat G5315 of G1537 the G3588 loaves G740 , and G2532 were filled G5526 .
|
|
27. Don't work for the food that spoils. Work for the food that stays good always and gives eternal life. The Son of Man will give you this food, because on him God the Father has put his power."
|
27. Labor G2038 not G3361 for the G3588 meat G1035 which perisheth G622 , but G235 for that meat G1035 which endureth G3306 unto G1519 everlasting G166 life G2222 , which G3739 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 shall give G1325 unto you G5213 : for G1063 him G5126 hath God G2316 the G3588 Father G3962 sealed G4972 .
|
|
28. The people asked Jesus, "What are the things God wants us to do?"
|
28. Then G3767 said G2036 they unto G4314 him G846 , What G5101 shall we do G4160 , that G2443 we might work G2038 the G3588 works G2041 of God G2316 ?
|
|
29. Jesus answered, "The work God wants you to do is this: Believe the One he sent."
|
29. Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , This G5124 is G2076 the G3588 work G2041 of God G2316 , that G2443 ye believe G4100 on G1519 him whom G3739 he G1565 hath sent G649 .
|
|
30. So the people asked, "What miracle will you do? If we see a miracle, we will believe you. What will you do?
|
30. They said G2036 therefore G3767 unto him G846 , What G5101 sign G4592 showest G4160 thou G4771 then G3767 , that G2443 we may see G1492 , and G2532 believe G4100 thee G4671 ? what G5101 dost thou work G2038 ?
|
|
31. Our fathers ate the manna in the desert. This is written in the Scriptures: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
|
31. Our G2257 fathers G3962 did eat G5315 manna G3131 in G1722 the G3588 desert G2048 ; as G2531 it is G2076 written G1125 , He gave G1325 them G846 bread G740 from G1537 heaven G3772 to eat G5315 .
|
|
32. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven; it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven.
|
32. Then G3767 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Moses G3475 gave G1325 you G5213 not G3756 that bread G740 from G1537 heaven G3772 ; but G235 my G3450 Father G3962 giveth G1325 you G5213 the G3588 true G228 bread G740 from G1537 heaven G3772 .
|
|
33. God's bread is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
|
33. For G1063 the G3588 bread G740 of God G2316 is G2076 he which cometh down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 , and G2532 giveth G1325 life G2222 unto the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
34. The people said, "Sir, give us this bread always."
|
34. Then G3767 said G2036 they unto G4314 him G846 , Lord G2962 , evermore G3842 give G1325 us G2254 this G5126 bread G740 .
|
|
35. Then Jesus said, "I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
|
35. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 bread G740 of life G2222 : he that cometh G2064 to G4314 me G3165 shall never G3364 hunger G3983 ; and G2532 he that believeth G4100 on G1519 me G1691 shall never G3364 G4455 thirst G1372 .
|
|
36. But as I told you before, you have seen me and still don't believe.
|
36. But G235 I said G2036 unto you G5213 , That G3754 ye also G2532 have seen G3708 me G3165 , and G2532 believe G4100 not G3756 .
|
|
37. The Father gives me my people. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them.
|
37. All G3956 that G3739 the G3588 Father G3962 giveth G1325 me G3427 shall come G2240 to G4314 me G1691 ; and G2532 him that cometh G2064 to G4314 me G3165 I will in no wise G3364 cast G1544 out G1854 .
|
|
38. I came down from heaven to do what God wants me to do, not what I want to do.
|
38. For G3754 I came down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 , not G3756 to G2443 do G4160 mine own G1699 will G2307 , but G235 the G3588 will G2307 of him that sent G3992 me G3165 .
|
|
39. Here is what the One who sent me wants me to do: I must not lose even one whom God gave me, but I must raise them all on the last day.
|
39. And G1161 this G5124 is G2076 the G3588 Father G3962 's will G2307 which hath sent G3992 me G3165 , that G2443 of all G3956 which G3739 he hath given G1325 me G3427 I should G3361 lose G622 nothing G1537 G846 , but G235 should raise it up again G450 G846 at G1722 the G3588 last G2078 day G2250 .
|
|
40. Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life, and I will raise them on the last day. This is what my Father wants."
|
40. And G1161 this G5124 is G2076 the G3588 will G2307 of him that sent G3992 me G3165 , that G2443 every one G3956 which seeth G2334 the G3588 Son G5207 , and G2532 believeth G4100 on G1519 him G846 , may have G2192 everlasting G166 life G2222 : and G2532 I G1473 will raise him up G450 G846 at the G3588 last G2078 day G2250 .
|
|
41. The Jews began to complain about Jesus because he said, "I am the bread that comes down from heaven."
|
41. The G3588 Jews G2453 then G3767 murmured G1111 at G4012 him G846 , because G3754 he said G2036 , I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 bread G740 which came down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 .
|
|
42. They said, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph. We know his father and mother. How can he say, 'I came down from heaven'?"
|
42. And G2532 they said G3004 , Is G2076 not G3756 this G3778 Jesus G2424 , the G3588 son G5207 of Joseph G2501 , whose G3739 father G3962 and G2532 mother G3384 we G2249 know G1492 ? how G4459 is it then G3767 that he G3778 saith G3004 , I came down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 ?
|
|
43. But Jesus answered, "Stop complaining to each other.
|
43. Jesus G2424 therefore G3767 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , Murmur G1111 not G3361 among G3326 yourselves G240 .
|
|
44. The Father is the One who sent me. No one can come to me unless the Father draws him to me, and I will raise that person up on the last day.
|
44. No man G3762 can G1410 come G2064 to G4314 me G3165 , except G3362 the G3588 Father G3962 which hath sent G3992 me G3165 draw G1670 him G846 : and G2532 I G1473 will raise him up G450 G846 at the G3588 last G2078 day G2250 .
|
|
45. It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
|
45. It is G2076 written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 prophets G4396 , And G2532 they shall be G2071 all G3956 taught G1318 of God G2316 . Every man G3956 therefore G3767 that hath heard G191 , and G2532 hath learned G3129 of G3844 the G3588 Father G3962 , cometh G2064 unto G4314 me G3165 .
|
|
46. No one has seen the Father except the One who is from God; only he has seen the Father.
|
46. Not G3756 that G3754 any man G5100 hath seen G3708 the G3588 Father G3962 , save G1508 he which is G5607 of G3844 God G2316 , he G3778 hath seen G3708 the G3588 Father G3962 .
|
|
47. I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life.
|
47. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , He that believeth G4100 on G1519 me G1691 hath G2192 everlasting G166 life G2222 .
|
|
48. I am the bread that gives life.
|
48. I G1473 am G1510 that bread G740 of life G2222 .
|
|
49. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but still they died.
|
49. Your G5216 fathers G3962 did eat G5315 manna G3131 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 , and G2532 are dead G599 .
|
|
50. Here is the bread that comes down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will never die.
|
50. This G3778 is G2076 the G3588 bread G740 which cometh down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 , that G2443 a man G5100 may eat G5315 thereof G1537 G846 , and G2532 not G3361 die G599 .
|
|
51. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give up so that the world may have life."
|
51. I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 living G2198 bread G740 which came down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 : if G1437 any man G5100 eat G5315 of G1537 this G5127 bread G740 , he shall live G2198 forever G1519 G165 : and G1161 the G3588 bread G740 that G3739 I G1473 will give G1325 is G2076 my G3450 flesh G4561 , which G3739 I G1473 will give G1325 for G5228 the G3588 life G2222 of the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
52. Then the Jews began to argue among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
|
52. The G3588 Jews G2453 therefore G3767 strove G3164 among G4314 themselves G240 , saying G3004 , How G4459 can G1410 this man G3778 give G1325 us G2254 his flesh G4561 to eat G5315 ?
|
|
53. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, you must eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood. Otherwise, you won't have real life in you.
|
53. Then G3767 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Except G3362 ye eat G5315 the G3588 flesh G4561 of the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 , and G2532 drink G4095 his G846 blood G129 , ye have G2192 no G3756 life G2222 in G1722 you G1438 .
|
|
54. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day.
|
54. Whoso eateth G5176 my G3450 flesh G4561 , and G2532 drinketh G4095 my G3450 blood G129 , hath G2192 eternal G166 life G2222 ; and G2532 I G1473 will raise him up G450 G846 at the G3588 last G2078 day G2250 .
|
|
55. My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
|
55. For G1063 my G3450 flesh G4561 is G2076 meat G1035 indeed G230 , and G2532 my G3450 blood G129 is G2076 drink G4213 indeed G230 .
|
|
56. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood live in me, and I live in them.
|
56. He that eateth G5176 my G3450 flesh G4561 , and G2532 drinketh G4095 my G3450 blood G129 , dwelleth G3306 in G1722 me G1698 , and I G2504 in G1722 him G846 .
|
|
57. The living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father. So whoever eats me will live because of me.
|
57. As G2531 the G3588 living G2198 Father G3962 hath sent G649 me G3165 , and I G2504 live G2198 by G1223 the G3588 Father G3962 : so G2532 he that eateth G5176 me G3165 , even he G2548 shall live G2198 by G1223 me G1691 .
|
|
58. I am not like the bread your ancestors ate. They ate that bread and still died. I am the bread that came down from heaven, and whoever eats this bread will live forever."
|
58. This G3778 is G2076 that bread G740 which came down G2597 from G1537 heaven G3772 : not G3756 as G2531 your G5216 fathers G3962 did eat G5315 manna G3131 , and G2532 are dead G599 : he that eateth G5176 of this G5126 bread G740 shall live G2198 forever G1519 G165 .
|
|
59. Jesus said all these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
|
59. These things G5023 said G2036 he in G1722 the synagogue G4864 , as he taught G1321 in G1722 Capernaum G2584 .
|
|
60. When the followers of Jesus heard this, many of them said, "This teaching is hard. Who can accept it?"
|
60. Many G4183 therefore G3767 of G1537 his G846 disciples G3101 , when they had heard G191 this, said G2036 , This G3778 is G2076 a hard G4642 saying G3056 ; who G5101 can G1410 hear G191 it G846 ?
|
|
61. Knowing that his followers were complaining about this, Jesus said, "Does this teaching bother you?
|
61. When G1161 Jesus G2424 knew G1492 in G1722 himself G1438 that G3754 his G846 disciples G3101 murmured G1111 at G4012 it G5127 , he said G2036 unto them G846 , Doth this G5124 offend G4624 you G5209 ?
|
|
62. Then will it also bother you to see the Son of Man going back to the place where he came from?
|
62. What and G3767 if G1437 ye shall see G2334 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 ascend up G305 where G3699 he was G2258 before G4386 ?
|
|
63. It is the Spirit that gives life. The flesh doesn't give life. The words I told you are spirit, and they give life.
|
63. It is G2076 the G3588 spirit G4151 that quickeneth G2227 ; the G3588 flesh G4561 G3756 profiteth G5623 nothing G3762 : the G3588 words G4487 that G3739 I G1473 speak G2980 unto you G5213 , they are G2076 spirit G4151 , and G2532 they are G2076 life G2222 .
|
|
64. But some of you don't believe." (Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe and who would turn against him.)
|
64. But G235 there are G1526 some G5100 of G1537 you G5216 that G3739 believe G4100 not G3756 . For G1063 Jesus G2424 knew G1492 from G1537 the beginning G746 who G5101 they were G1526 that believed G4100 not G3361 , and G2532 who G5101 should G2076 betray G3860 him G846 .
|
|
65. Jesus said, "That is the reason I said, 'If the Father does not bring a person to me, that one cannot come.'"
|
65. And G2532 he said G3004 , Therefore G1223 G5124 said G2046 I unto you G5213 , that G3754 no man G3762 can G1410 come G2064 unto G4314 me G3165 , except G3362 it were G5600 given G1325 unto him G846 of G1537 my G3450 Father G3962 .
|
|
66. After Jesus said this, many of his followers left him and stopped following him.
|
66. From G1537 that G5127 time many G4183 of his G846 disciples G3101 went G565 back G1519 G3694 , and G2532 walked G4043 no more G3765 with G3326 him G846 .
|
|
67. Jesus asked the twelve followers, "Do you want to leave, too?"
|
67. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto the G3588 twelve G1427 , Will G2309 G3361 ye G5210 also G2532 go away G5217 ?
|
|
68. Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, where would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.
|
68. Then G3767 Simon G4613 Peter G4074 answered G611 him G846 , Lord G2962 , to G4314 whom G5101 shall we go G565 ? thou hast G2192 the words G4487 of eternal G166 life G2222 .
|
|
69. We believe and know that you are the Holy One from God."
|
69. And G2532 we G2249 believe G4100 and G2532 are sure G1097 that G3754 thou G4771 art G1488 that Christ G5547 , the G3588 Son G5207 of the G3588 living G2198 God G2316 .
|
|
70. Then Jesus answered, "I chose all twelve of you, but one of you is a devil."
|
70. Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 , Have not G3756 I G1473 chosen G1586 you G5209 twelve G1427 , and G2532 one G1520 of G1537 you G5216 is G2076 a devil G1228 ?
|
|
71. Jesus was talking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Judas was one of the twelve, but later he was going to turn against Jesus.
|
71. G1161 He spake G3004 of Judas G2455 Iscariot G2469 the son of Simon G4613 : for G1063 he G3778 it was that should G3195 betray G3860 him G846 , being G5607 one G1520 of G1537 the G3588 twelve G1427 .
